Preparing Your Garden For Sale- Spring Time!

Your garden speaks volumes about your home, serving as the first impression for potential buyers. Not only will they stroll through its paths, but it often frames the view from within the property as well.

As spring unfolds, gardens burst into life, but they can quickly appear neglected without proper care. Investing time now can yield significant returns when it’s time to sell. Here are some seasonal pointers to ensure your garden shines:

If you’re fortunate to have a lawn, ensure your lawnmower is serviced and sharpened for pristine, stripy grass. April’s growth spurt may necessitate mowing twice weekly, and with garden machinery engineers in high demand, preemptive maintenance avoids unexpected breakdowns.

After the threat of frost has passed, instant vibrancy can be achieved with colourful hanging baskets. Available pre-made from garden centres, these modest investments (around £30 each) greatly enhance curb appeal. Remember to keep them watered; if you’re away, we’re happy to assist.

Bedding plants offer immediate bursts of colour, but regular deadheading ensures continuous flowering. Vigilance against pests like aphids is crucial as your roses and blooms emerge. While sprays are effective, natural solutions like ladybirds, available for purchase, offer eco-friendly pest control. Interestingly, aphids are less prevalent in urban gardens compared to rural areas!

Remember, you’re selling a home, not just a property. The presentation of your garden, even a simple window box, can sway buyers’ decisions. Let us lend a hand too.
